wk # 2&3

Today we talked about the Central nervous system. (CNS) Which is a portion of the nervous system that consists of the brain and spinal cord. We learned functions, mafor parts, meninges, nourishment, organization, skeletal prtection, and damage/repair. What i found to be most interesting is the funtions of the neurons which are responsibel for most of the unique funtions of the nervous system. The cell body contains a nucleus surrounded by cytoplasm within the cplasm organelles like lysomomers, mitochondria, and the Golgi complex are found here.
Most nuerons have an imput regions called dendrites that recieve information and integration region the cell body that analyzes all the information. Then the output is the axon and here the information is transmited toward another cell.

  1. Rob,
    So with these three blogs you are now thirty points richer! Here are a few suggestions for your next blogs...

    Always spell check your blogs before you post them, it may not catch all of the errors, but it will prevent many misspellings. Try composing your blogs in a Word.doc and then cut and paste them into your blog post.

    You can also add a picture, image, etc. if it will make your anatomical description more clear, easier etc. Check out Dani Shaw's blogsite for an example of this:
    geekmeout.blogspot.com

    Lastly, remember that you are required to have a second paragraph which describes how the lecture material you have summarized is relevant to YOUR own life...

    I'm looking forward to your next blog!
    Dana
